Wu Po-hsiung

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wu Po-hsiung (Traditional Chinese: 吳伯雄) is a Taiwanese politician. He previously served as Taipei City mayor (1988-1990), interior minister of the Republic of China, and presidential secretary general (1991-1996). He is the current chairman of the Kuomintang.

Wu was formerly the first vice-chairman of the main opposition Kuomintang (KMT) party.[citation needed] After Chairman Ma Ying-jeou resigned, he became the acting chairman. Wu, however, subsequently resigned his post as acting chairman and member of the Central Standing Committee in order to compete in the chairman election scheduled for April 7, 2007. Ma announced his support for Wu for chairmanship.[1]

Wu eventually won the party chairmanship election, garnering about 90% of votes cast, defeating KMT Legislator Hung Hsiu-chiu. Of all eligible voters, about 53% voted. [1]

Outside politics, Wu is a Buddhist and has proclaimed support for the Taiwan based Fo Guang Shan Buddhist Order. Wu served as the second president of the Taiwan chapter of Buddha's Light International Association.
